One of the hardest working guys in Muncie show business is Bob Myers, director of Emens Auditorium. Bob is like a doctor when it comes to understanding my cultural needs, so when he encouraged me to see a performance last week by Chicago singer-songwriter Susan Werner, I was there.

I had never heard of her, but Bob told me she was one of the best shows on his schedule this season. He was right. Werner's show was a perfect blend of comedy, audience engagement and social commentary. But Bob and his fellow producers rarely get enough credit for the part they play in that perfection.
